I think we're socialized out of being women, and then we have to find our way back to it. That's hard to do.

Most of us are not real eager to grow, myself included. We try to be happy by staying in the status quo. But if we're not willing to be honest with ourselves about what we feel, we don't evolve.

God is not something I think about but something I experience as an energy, a Presence. I do find it easier to pray to a female Presence or an androgynous Presence.

Follow your heart, your instincts. People might try to dissuade you from your passion, but no one can live your life but you.

My husband is a fall-away Catholic, but with a vengeance. He's actually more of a feminist than I am.

I talk to women's groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her.

I feel it most in my work, because there aren't roles about women who are spiritually evolving. That anyone would even write something like that, something that's worth doing, would be a miracle!
